So wish we could be with her to celebrate, but we can't. So, Pandora charms will have to do:)I truly look forward to the day when we get to go out to dinner together on her birthday. When I can buy her a cake and be there to eat it with her. When I can see her face as she opens her present. See the boys give her big Happy Birthday Hugs!This is just one of the many reasons that after 3 years (yes, 3 years), I'm still homesick!Beautifully Blessed and Truly Thankful to have a kind, giving, healthy and beautiful Mother than I can call my best friend,ChasityPS...We gave her a suitcase and pineapple charm since this is the time of year she usually goes to Hawaii!

Perfectly Phillips

I'm Chasity... Wife to Brent | Mother to Peyton and Palmer | Daughter to Barbara and Gerald | Daughter-in-law to Mary Kay | Sister to Chris | Sister-in-law to Jody, Reid and Linda | Aunt to Kira and Dylan | Friend to those who want to be my friend | Most importantly, Child of God! Among all of these things, I'm...well, let's see...all about preserving memories (hence this blog). I'm a Florida (sunshine) girl living in Nashville, TN. Proud Florida State graduate (GO SEMINOLES!) I'm definitely a Type A person that wishes, wishes, I could be a Type B, but then again, 13 years ago, I married a Type B, so we make a perfect pair! And our boys...Peyton's little Brent and Palmer is me made over! The Lord has blessed our family with more than I ever imagined! ALL my boys are my heart!

This is Brent. I married him for his heart. He's my best friend (and sometimes my 3rd boy). He's the boys' best friend. He's a hard worker and big kid all rolled into one. He's wild. He's crazy...usually the life of the party. He's a Type B personality, which makes for a very interesting relationship. We've learned over the years how to push each other's buttons, but at the end of the day, we also know how to make each other smile. How to lean on each other. How to love one another!

This is Peyton Bailey. He's Little Brent in the making all the time. His love language is "gifts" and his favorite food is "cereal." He's a negotiator like no other. He's usually very laidback (except when Palmer is driving him crazy). He's your typical firstborn...he wants to do everything perfectly. He'll push to see how far he can get, but does it very cautiously. He's the world's biggest Seminole fan and future FSU Seminole baseball player. He's a good kid and my future "pastor." God gave me Peyton so that I would want another child...

This is Palmer Bailey. He's 7 and STILL VERY GOOD AT IT! He's me made over...kind of scary sometimes, but I understand him...we get each other! His love language is the same as mine, "words of affirmation." His favorite food is "pancakes." He's a smart little booger and stubborn as all get out. He and Peyton are opposites. He's my "spirited" child, drama prince and future "broadway star." He does everything at 100% -- laughs, cries, loves, screams -- nothing is half way. God gave me Palmer so that I would wait to have more children...and yes, I'd have another one just like him!

This is Brooke Somersby. She's lost her Mom and Dad in the last two years and handled it with grace. She's the owner of our house...we just live in it with her. She's a terrible guard dog. A bread stealer. A food swiper, and all together spoiled rotten. She wouldn't have it any other way. To us, she's part of our world. To her, we are her world.
